Hoyer: ‘I Am Astounded by the Hypocrisy of GOP Supporters of Trump Who Were Hell-Bent to Put Hillary Clinton in Jail’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HOYER: "Well, reverend, I am not so sure it is Donald startling for Donald Trump. Donald Trump treads very closely to not following the law in so many different respects. And not honoring what is the law, what is tradition, and what ought to be done. So, I am not so sure that it is out of character for Donald Trump. But having said that, I really don’t know a lot more than you know, and the public knows from reading the papers. But I will say this. You talk about the discussions, this is happening, it is very important. Nobody is above the law. And I am astounded by the hypocrisy of Republican supporters of Trump who were hell-bent to put Hillary Clinton in jail, hell-bent to have her investigated, and applauded all of the work that comey did, which I think may have cost for the presidency, and then we say this is unprecedented. Trump is not president now. Hillary Clinton was not president then, he is not above the law. As you pointed out earlier in your opening statement, the lawyers had said, all the papers were turned over. Clearly, all the papers were not turned over and some of those papers were top secret. There may have been a violation of the espionage act, which is a very serious criminal endeavor. But, very frankly, one should not be surprised with the president to invite people to come to Washington, who incited them in front of the White House, and then deployed them to an insurrectionist action on the Capitol when we are counting the votes for president."
